"W-What?" Sweating, Frigs asked, completely confused about what the girl was saying.
She leapt forward, with a knife in her hand and grabbed Frigs's by his collar with her other hand, "Don't you pretend to be innocent! I saw it all. You bullied Connor because of your status!"
Frigs's mouth opened, still confused about the whole ordeal, but even before a word escaped his mouth, the girl shouted at his face, "Shut up! I don't want to hear the disgusting voice of the disgusting corrupt nobles!"
Connor placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to calm her down, "Bell, calm down, it's not what you think it is,"
Bell turned to Connor, "So this guy ordered you to keep quiet about what happened at the school?"
Connor went silent, it was clear that he was sweating, nervous, just like Frigs. But he soon realized what she was talking about and chuckled, "Calm down and sit down, the gentleman in front of you will explain what happened,"
She raised one of her brows while facing toward Connor. The girl sighed, slowly but surely retreating toward her seat while still staring at Frigs.
Frigs sighed in relief and Connor soon disappeared from the room, "It seems that Connor left the room… Anyway, what he was telling is the truth. I didn't bully him or did anything to him. As a matter of fact, I'm the one that made him enter the school,"
She raised one of her brows once again, suspicious of the man in front of her, "Let's just say that I want to make him an officer in my future army,"
The girl still hasn't cleared her suspicion. Seeing her face, Frigs sighed and slowly stood up, "It seems that the mood is in ruin, both of our clothes covered in soup. You can ask Connor for the full story, I'll excuse myself from here,"
He then left the room, and just as the door closed, he panted heavily, 'What was that! That's not justice, that taking matters in her own hands and killing people she deemed guilty!'
Louis, standing in front of him, just a few metres away, chuckled, "I thought it's a good idea to peek, but even before I reached the small round window, you came out like that. Clothes covered stained by soup"
Frigs sighed, "You can say that she likes justice a little bit too much… Anyway, the clothes don't feel comfortable to wear with all of these soup, let's return to the hotel,"
Louis answered, "Su-"
Even before she finished his words, the creaking sound of the door opening behind Frigs could be heard. Louis disappeared in less than a second, Frigs then turned around.
He saw the girl, blushing red on her face. Embarrassment or love? "Edward… I'm sorry,"
Frigs smiled, "It's not a problem"
The girl insisted, "No, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry and would like to apologize. I thought you were those disgusting nobles like the one that flirted with me in my village. They did horrible things to my parents and friends…"
Surprised, he thought to himself, 'So that's why she thought of nobles like that…'
The girl suddenly walked toward him. Taken by surprise, Frigs slowly took a step back. But Bell was faster than him. Eventually, the girl found herself standing right in front of him.
The height difference was not that much, about 5 cm with Frigs obviously being the taller one. But all of a sudden, the girl opened her arms and wrapped them around Frigs's waist.
(A little riddle here. There's obviously something becoming harder and taller as the girl hugged him and their bodies made contact. A.Tree B.Hobbit C.Rock D.Other)
Their bodies made contact with each other, the soup stains on their clothes acting as a bit of lubricant. Frigs felt something was growing. His face turned red, and he made an escape out of the girl's hands and rushed toward his hotel.
…
"Oh… oh… hello, Bell!" They both met in front of the hotel.
It was in the morning around 9 o'clock, Frigs have just finished his preparation for today, doing whatever he could do inside the village. But the first person he met right as he was leaving the hotel was his crush, Bell.
She responded with a smile on her face, "Oh hello Edward, how are you today?"
Frigs answered, nervous and sweating, "Ah… I'm good, I'm good"
They both stared at each other for a few seconds, both faces slowly getting redder. But the soon got a topic, "Oh yea, Edward, I was just wondering. Why would you run from me last night?"
Frigs was embarrassed, remembering what happened yesterday yet, he felt he was obliged to answer. Gathering his courage, he said, "I-I-I, I got something to do last night!"
She chuckled, "I like your expression while answering my question. Connor said that it would be a good thing to hug someone to apologize for something. Guess it works on you… and… only you…"
Situation became awkward once again, they both were embarrassed thinking about last night. A moment of silence, for about a few seconds before the girl opened her mouth once again, "Oh yea, I ruined the date last night… why not we have another one today since I have nothing to do today,"
He smiled with his face containing a bit of pink colour, "Sure, why not, let's begin in the pub of the hotel!"
Soon enough, they both found themselves inside the room, sitting across from each other, separated by the round empty wooden table. She suddenly chuckled, "I like how you call this hotel!"
Frigs raised one of his brows, "Is it not though?"
She answered with a smile on her face, "Well, technically it is, but it's more like an inn now… I have a plan to change this small hobbit village to a big city, so many more things would be built in the future!"
Frigs smiled while staring at her, "Well, I will be waiting for that moment,"
All of a sudden, the two of them heard the voice of a girl, "HEY YOU! WAITER, DIDN'T I CALL YOU YESTERDAY? WHY DID YOU NOT COME INTO OUR ROOM AND SERVE US?"
